OpenAI has released a voice-capable ChatGPT iPhone app, and Anthropic has introduced a neat Slack plugin for its own AI assistant Claude, which is similar to ChatGPT but notably quicker, and able to access the internet and handle much more text.
-
OpenAI is making rapid advances in a new text-to-3D object system it's been working on. The Shap-E AI, available as an open-source download, can generate 3D assets straight from a text description, or build them from supplied images.

Deep learning neural nets have begun a roughshod rampage through the creative arts sectors, and if musicians thought they were safe from the AIs that plague the nightmares of writers, artists and others, they've got another think coming.
-
Badly bloodied by OpenAI's GPT-4, Google has struck back with a new, more powerful large language model (LLM) to upgrade Bard and create a suite of new AI services – starting with a model targeted at doctors. It also teased its next-gen Gemini AI.

Thomas Edison once described genius as "one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration" – but AI systems like MetaGPT can already reduce that sweat to nearly nothing when it comes to coding and deploying simple apps and websites.

This is no puny chatbot. AutoGPT is a stack of AIs, managed by other AIs. It goes and gets jobs done for you, figuring things out step by step and adjusting on the fly. It's an early, but janky glimpse at how autonomous AI will change your life.

"Will Smith eating spaghetti" made text-to-video generative AIs look like a bit of a joke just a month or two ago, but nVidia has now demonstrated a new system that blows previous efforts out of the water. The pace of progress here is astonishing.
-
Despite its frequent and serious inaccuracies, GPT has got Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales thinking seriously about how AI might become part of the workflow at the largest and most-read reference repository in the history of mankind.
-
Even if the unlikely six-month moratorium on AI development goes ahead, it seems GPT-4 has the capability for huge leaps forward if it just takes a good hard look at itself. Researchers have had GPT critique its own work for a 30% performance boost.

A new creative AI system called ModelScope is now pumping out short videos in response to text prompts. The early results are wonderfully bizarre and thoroughly memeworthy – but it's immediately clear how immensely powerful these tools will become.
